It’s not an easy time for Microsoft — with Steve Ballmer having to field questions about being “buffoons” and an “evil empire” at the shareholder’s meeting (.doc) — so when they get together “the world’s most influential technology pundits and online writers” (nb: we weren’t invited) for Mobius to discuss super-secret mobile tech you’d think [...]

Here’s a guide for finding the best bargains on Apple-related gear during the infamous Black Friday sales on November 27. We’ve compiled a comprehensive list of gear from leaked photos of sales flyers and descriptions of sales.
The bargains include a 2.26 GHz MacBook + $150 gift card at Best Buy for $999.99 ; a 32GB [...]

New on the App Store is Voices from the clever folk at Tap Tap Tap. You can guess what it does.
Open it up, pick a silly voice. Helium is pretty silly. A microphone appears and the app even clears your throat for you (try it, you’ll see what I mean). Now speak your brains, and [...]
Press releases, you will hardly be surprised to hear, are rarely very interesting. But one arrived in my inbox a couple of weeks ago that made me double-take.
“Sony’s S Series Walkman,” it chattered, “is a serious challenger to the iPod Nano.” Gosh, really? Perhaps the Cult had better have a look at one, then, despite [...]

La filas de espera del Palm PRE VS iPhone 3G | Loading, on June 6th, 2009 at 6:51 pm
Two thoughts:
1) The fact that there’s ANY line for a phone other than the iPhone is impressive.
2) I know a number of people who are waiting for their contracts to expire (non-iPhone), and can’t wait to get a new Pre.
Even with as long as it took for Palm to finally come up with their “3rd generation” device, they have a die-hard following (I still use my Handspring Edge) that won’t give up a tool that’s been great to use for a long time. Hopefully these loyal users will be rewarded with the Pre.
Though if I spring for a ridiculously expensive phone it’ll probably be an iPhone. I’m even more fanatical about my Mac than my Palm. If there’s a cheap iPod touch coming with at least 32MB of SSM, I’ll be in that line.

It’s interesting that the Pre got a decent following, not only forming lines at the release, but also coverage in the news. Obviously we won’t be seeing any news reports of the long lines, but there was still exposure to the product before it released.

[...] Occasionally, I’ll get a request to port Mach Dice to other platforms (Palm Pre, LG Touch, HTC Diamond, Google Android, Virtual Tabletop, etc.). But with a full time job, I barely have enough time to just work on the iPhone. So it isn’t likely any time soon. Still, I am curious. Do any of you have one of the other smart phones? Or does anyone have a sense of how many people own each of the devices? My impression is that iPhone has the biggest app customer base out there, but I’ve only ever seen anecdotal evidence. [...]

Ok so I just realized how much I miss having a custom tone for text messages… I know the standard one is very clean and fits in with the whole theme of the phone very well but with all the customization options on the Pre I can’t imagine why the only thing you can select for are phone calls.
I’m pretty sure if people are vocal enough about such an easy change then Palm will respond fairly quickly.
